    Story

    Please give as much as you can to help us buy fabric to make scrubs for the NHS West Suffolk Hospital.

    This is a community project based in Clare, Suffolk, involving the Clare Business Association, local councillors, and members of the public.

    Our NHS is fighting its biggest challenge ever and we want to help. Similar schemes are in place for Ipswich and Colchester Hospitals and across the country.

    We have been provided with a specification by West Suffolk Hospital and have the patterns printed out and our sewing volunteers on standby ready to get making!

    As well as money donations we need people to help. If you don’t have a sewing machine there may be cutting out work to be done or putting together packs for delivery to those who can make them.

    Speed is of the essence as the next couple of weeks could be very difficult for the NHS.

    In these challenging times we can’t meet up and share information, so please help by passing the word around- but stay safe!

    For more information or to volunteer your help please contact one of the following:

      Thanks again to all of our wonderful supporters and our fabulous sewing team. As the NHS now seems to be well stocked with PPE we have decided to wind up our fund. We had £1500.03 left in the kitty, which we have split between the Butterfly Appeal at the West Suffolk Hospital (to create a peaceful area that can be used by end-of-life patients and their families) and the St Nicholas Hospice. Stay safe x

      We are still busy making scrubs, the demand is still there, although thankfully tailing off now. Another 50+ sets have gone to the West Suffolk Hospital, plus around 15 sets have gone to local NHS surgeries/clinics. We still have funds left which we are holding in reserve in case of a second wave.
